Arrival

Well here I am in Nederland!   The plane boarded at 12:30 and left at 1:30.  Naturally it was completely packed and I had to fight in order to find a spot in the overhead compartments for my carry on.

The flight was 10 hours long and the plane was old so to my extreme disappointment, there were no personalized TVs and I had find other ways to keep myself occupied.  For 10 hours I either took pictures, read Huckleberry Finn, did Sudoku puzzles, or walked around the plane trying to count how many different languages were being spoken.  I think it was about 8 or 9.

Because we were flying "away" from the sun, it got dark right as we flew over Montana and into Canada.  We didn't meet up with the sun again until we flew over Britain about 6 hours later and we landed it was the beginning of a new day.

Tomorrow my mom and I are going to Amsterdam to visit some museums and on Monday I am going to school.  Wish me luck!
